Abstract

Dans l’esprit des travaux reÌ cents sur les effets de genre de la libeÌ ralisation commerciale, ce papier explore l’impact de la mise en Å“uvre de l’Accord de Partenariat Economique (APE) entre l’Afrique de l’Ouest et l’Union EuropeÌ enne sur l’emploi des femmes au SeÌ neÌ gal. En particulier, nous eÌ tudions comment une politique d’investissements publics cibleÌ s pourrait proteÌ ger les secteurs les plus intensifs en main-d’œuvre feÌ minine d’une concurrence accrue des produits europeÌ ens. AÌ€ l’aide d’une modeÌ lisation en eÌ quilibre geÌ neÌ ral calculable nous montrons ainsi qu’une augmentation des investissements publics dans les secteurs les plus toucheÌ s par la mise en Å“uvre de l’APE agit positivement sur le taux de choÌ‚mage des femmes et leur taux de salaire. / In the spirit of recent work on the gender effects of trade liberalisation, this paper explores the impact of the implementation of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between West Africa and the European Union on women's employment in Senegal. In particular, we study how a targeted public investment policy could protect the most female labour-intensive sectors from increased competition from European products. Using a computable general equilibrium approach, we show that an increase in public investment in the sectors most affected by the implementation of the EPA has a positive impact on women's unemployment rate and wage rates.
